Oh no. Loved his dry humor style and I might’ve even exchanged tweets with him, probably about me being a fanboy of his ”The Car’s The Star” series.

I guess I have to turn in my citizenship for needing a second guess.

So what may have happened is that my friend sent a message at 9 pm. "I did get BF6 after all" and then we may have played until 04 am.

I also may feel tired and my middle finger may have a swollen joint because it doesn't like these gaming sessions now that I'm over 40.

Nothing makes me as passive as a call to action.

Watched the first episode of ”The Paper”, which is literally The Office but about a local newspaper. Cuts so close it’s not even funny all the time.

Traded a couple of old lenses to MPB and ordered a Kodak Charmera. Not directly related but hey, this is how addict... collection management works, right? #photography

There should be a special place in hell for applications that open pop-ups while TYPING. I'm looking at you, Lightroom Classic.

I do like when a studio listens to my personal discussions. I said ”dammit where’s Kiwami 3” about three months ago and here we are.

Managed to charge the test drive Volvo EX30 CC to 80,0% by pure chance (limit wasn't on) so I'll be waiting for my "EV Wizard" diploma in the coming weeks, there is nothing left to master. #cars

Nice and easy, drove one of those two weeks ago, but a specific year is always a tough one for me.

One day, nearly 2000 years ago, a cat dashed across some drying tiles, somewhere near Hadrian's Wall.

It's immortality of a kind, isn't it?

Almost said "what is it girl" to my car when it had been acting weird with the key for a week. Low battery warning (even with a new battery) and refusing to lock the doors from the door handle.

Turned out my hunch was right and the spare key fob was in the car by coincidence.

Was a long IAA trip with BMW preshow and flu that started on Sunday, so the actual show days were pretty rough. Still, feels like the old days are back with about a million new things.

And then Ferrari announces whatever irrelevant nonsense.

10 years ago Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was released. Perfected gameplay, but sadly the story got Konami’d. I was at the London review camp for the game in summer of 2015 and it was a great and unique experience. #gaming

Managed to squad up and got some semidecent results.
Few things make you feel old so quick than trying Battlefield 6 beta and losing every encounter on reflexes alone.

Seems like @thedrive.com is making a bit of a comeback, with the hilarious trainwreck of Cybertruck on the Rubicon yesterday and today a fantastic piece on the demise of @speedhunters.bsky.social.

Some personal thoughts and comments on the followup.
